I had a brief relationship with a gov organization that was involved in bio defense at a low level. I had nothing to do with any decision making but sat in on a few meetings discussing very bad stuff. Part of why when I first saw what is happening in China I thought to myself not good. Anyway, it is really bumming me out in the general responses I'm seeing from a lot of people here. Some are pouncing on it for a profit, the youtube prepper and doomsday channels are all over it. Some are trying to graft on and make a name for themselves...low lifes shooting for stardom. Even people who I respect that have good info are spinning this tragedy to their advantage...probably some without even realizing it. Makes me sad as this Covid-19 virus, or the real underlying virus that Covid-19 is a cover for, is no joke. The fact that it is no joke does not mean it will become a pandemic as spring and summer might reign it in. But it could be, and people are dying. The usual idiots that don't like their spot in society and hope it collapses so they can put on football shoulder pads and become little warlords in post apocalyptic America are out in full force...they get old. If this thing does spin out of control, I hope to step over their corpses...actually not because their corpses will be highly contagious for awhile...and unlike China we don't have tons of body burners stockpiled around...I can fantasize though.
Again, hopeful this thing will burn out before it gets legs in too many places. But I knew it was bad when I first saw it. The Chinese response fit patterns that I didn't like to see. They by their actions told the world what it was if you knew what to look for. I'm pretty sure this isn't an organically developed thing...and more and more scientist in high places are stating the same. But that doesn't mean the end is neigh and it isn't unstoppable. God is in control and nature itself I'm betting will squash most of it by the end of summer. I'm hopeful but this isn't a trivial thing.
